Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. From the author of the cult classic Lives of the Saints, a diaristic novel of middle-aged reckoning that roves from Washington, D.C. to New Orleans, from court records to Don Giovanni, all of it riotously narrated by one of American fictions most singular voices.Delery Anhaltmiddle-aged and prone, like Don Quixote, to embroidering everything into vast ideals but incapable (like Desdemona?) of identifying the Shakespearean villains in her lifefinds herself at a crossroads. Her father and his peers, the old guard of New Orleans, are entering their twilight years. Her daughters are stepping decisively into adulthood. Delery, caught between the demands of the generations, takes stock of herself in a series of diaries that move freely between present and past: from the waning days of Covid and her employment as a virtual court monitor of criminal cases in New Orleans to the travails of daily life in Washington, DC. Throughout, she revisitswith frankness, with fury, with not a few qualms and some further thoughtswhat she calls her lions at the gate: her insecurity, ego, annoyance, operatic wrath (felt most keenly toward bad houseguests), and remorse.The Oyster Diaries, the latest novel by the incomparable Nancy Lemann, is a funny and poignant portrayal of the vicissitudes of adulthood that sees the return, from her legendary debut, Lives of the Saints, of the heroic wastrel Claude Collier. This is an exuberant, indignant, insightful performance, and an irresistible addition to the books that have made Lemann one of the keenest, most engaging, and simply beloved of American writers at work today.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Fresh out of college in New England, a young woman returns home to New Orleans and is quickly pulled back into the citys wastrel-youth contingent in this cult-classic novel of love and decadence, now with a new introduction.Nancy Lemanns voice is one of the most unusual in American fiction, unabashedly digressive, weirdly and wonderfully confiding, as witty as it is melancholy, an endless surprise. Hers is a voice born of and at odds with her native New Orleans, a voice that takes on and wonders at the ramshackle realities not just of the deep South but of America. Lives of the Saints, her first book, was a revelation of new talent. Reappearing here, several decades later, it is simply a revelation. Claude Collier made the world seem kind, says Louise Brown, beginning a tale of Violent Love, Breakdowns, Moods, and Felonious Drunkenness that floats from one lush, green, sweltering New Orleans evening to another. When Louise returns home after four years of college in New England, she bemusedly finds herself reimmersed in New Orleans societys wastrel-youth contingent. At the center of this gin-fueled hurricane is Claude Collier, rumpled, accident-prone, supremely sweetand desperate. For Claude, Louise is his steadying focus; for Louise, Claude is the only man who can cause her heart to break into a million pieces on the floor.

The Fiery Pantheon (Paperback)
Language: English
Published by Simon & Schuster, New York, NY, 1999
ISBN 10: 0684852055 ISBN 13: 9780684852058
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Acclaimed for her "gleeful and contagious love of language" (Los Angeles Times), Nancy Lemann evokes the tattered glamour of fading traditional Southern society like no other writer. Now she introduces the aristocratic Stewart clan of New Orleans, in particular, the self-effacing Grace, who is vacationing with her family at a rambling old resort in Virginia and mulling over her recent engagement to Monroe Collier, her ideal Southern gentleman. When she spots the crazed but brilliant Walter, she pegs him as a likely candidate for a nervous breakdown, but he determinedly attaches himself to Grace and begins to work his charms on her. Will Grace remain true to laconic Monroe and the ideals of her homeland or will she fall for the strangely charismatic Walter? Who will gain entry into the Fiery Pantheon, Grace's personal gallery of beloved and honored heroes? In the tradition of Evelyn Waugh and Walker Percy, The Fiery Pantheon is a witty and rapturous novel about the weight of past glory, the attachment to place, and the love of a man. Spinning a tale rich in the echoes of great Southern story tellers, Lemann evokes the eccentricities and the nostalgia for past glories that continue to penetrate the "new" South. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In this "unjustly neglected" masterpiece, Nancy Lemann gives an atmospheric account of the New Orleans trial of the Governor of Louisiana for racketeering, fraud, and bribery. This 40th anniversary edition features a new introduction by critic James Wolcott and an afterword by the author.New Orleans-born novelist Nancy Lemann returned to her hometown from Manhattan in 1985, tasked by renowned editor Tina Brown to cover Governor Edwin Edwards's two corruption trials forVanity Fair. The work that emerged from this trip was less a straightforward account of the court proceedings and instead a masterful portrait of the politicians, their families, the lawyers, and the other reporters covering the trials, rendered in sparse, wry vignettes. Championed and edited by Gordon Lish,The Ritz of the Bayouis Lemann's sole book of nonfiction and has attained lost classic status in the decades it has languished out of print.In hazy, atmospheric scenes of cigar smoke-laden bars, heaping plates of oysters, and unchecked eccentricity and chaos, Lemann observes both the proceedings and a glamorous Gulf Coast gone shabby from humidity and time. She captures New Orleans's particular "tropic zone," where "the two great enemies of Louisianians are boredom and lack of style," and its citizens choose charismatic leaders over ethical ones, writing, "Politics is not the place to look for saints."An account of government corruption and Southern character that transcends its moment,The Ritz of the Bayouis Lemann at the height of her powers. This edition reestablishes a classic of Southern literature, rewarding its longtime fans and introducing her talent to a new generation of readers. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
